Dear All,
I have a query about using "text form fields" within tables. I
am using Word 2003 although I have also seen this on Word 2000.
To let you know what I am doing, this demonstrates the issue:
1) Create a 1 cell table on a blank word document
2) Place a "text form field" in the table
3) Place a "text form field" outside of the table
4) Protect the document for "Filling in Forms"
5) Add a number of words to both form fields.
eg: "How Now Brown Cow"
If I want to change the word "Brown" to "Red" on the table
form field, I click at the beginning of "Brown" and drag the
cursor over the word; all the text to the end of the sentence
("Brown" & "Cow") has been selected. If I click at the beginning
of "Brown" and drag the cursor backwards "How" & "Now" will be
selected.
This does not occur if I do the same thing on the form field
outside of the table... is there a setting I am missing, or is
this just an annoying *feature* of Word?
Thanks in anticipation!
